Hi MON, I was hoping that you'd chime in as one of the BTDT peeps :)--thanks.
I'm choosing to take them at their word about the fluidity of it all, for now...
I would love to know more about how your DS learns writing, and how you've taught him.
The way it's working for my son this year is that he spends a lot of writing time working one-on-one with his teacher. She is using a graphic organizer with him and breaking the tasks down into very small bits. He is still working on the same (non-fiction) story that he started at the beginning of the year, so at this rate he'll *maybe* produce four stories by the end of the year?
At home, I try to do a combination of scribing his ideas and reflecting them back to him (does that make sense?), sometimes maybe asking a question to help him come up with the next thought or sentence...I don't really know what I'm doing. Sigh.
What he produces is pretty good, but the process is exhausting and S-L-O-W. If you've got more advice, I would sure appreciate it.
